New Blood Test Capable of Detecting Multiple Cancer Types

A new blood test in development has shown ability to screen for numerous types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy, a trial of the test shows. In study, test proved able to detect and localize more than 20 types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. More...

Blood Monocyte Functions Altered in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is characterized by the slow degeneration of the neurons in brain due to the abnormal accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein. This leads to the patients shaking and then to the slow, stiff movements which many people associate with the disease. More...

Hematological Parameters Detect Patients with Acute VTE

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE causes cardiovascular death and disability and the risk of PE‐associated mortality and morbidity extends far beyond the acute phase of the disease. More...

Targeted RNA Sequencing Technology Diagnoses Breast Cancer

In recent years, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology has become the standard for transcriptome analysis because of its flexibility, sensitivity, and accuracy in measuring gene expression. RNA-seq is a technology in which cDNA is derived from RNA, followed by library construction and massively parallel deep sequencing. More...

Biomarker in Adolescence Linked to Early Mortality

Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. More...

Diagnostic Panel Analysis of Lung Cancer Compared

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Non-small cell lung carcinomas are the most common type of lung cancers. They can further be divided into adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. Accurately classifying these tumors is important to select the best treatment options for patients. More...

Diagnostic Biomarker Expression Compared for Metastatic Tumors

Metastatic mucinous tumors pose a unique diagnostic challenge for the surgical pathologist as their morphologic and clinical characteristics are often nonspecific. The colorectum is the most common site of origin. More...
